Perdue Foods, LLC

Perdue Foods, LLC operates establishment P7903 at 22520 Lankford Hiwy. in Accomac, Accomack County, Virginia. The federal record lists poultry slaughter and poultry processing under FSIS inspection, with poultry as the only species slaughtered. FSIS classifies the plant as large and places it in slaughter volume category 5.0, the highest of the reported bands. The grant of inspection date on file is December 1, 2021. No custom-exempt activity is reported, meaning the plant is not listed with FSIS as doing custom slaughter or processing for individual owners.

The establishment reports a long list of brand names to FSIS, including Perdue, Harvestland, Coleman's, Shenandoah, Shenandoah Halal, Simply Smart, Cookin' Good, Chef's Choice, Carolina Fare, Country Corner, Pennysworth, Shoreline, and Kirkland. The website on file, perduefarms.com, is the national company site rather than a page for the Accomac plant. It describes Perdue Farms as a fourth generation, family owned business in operation for more than 100 years, started by Arthur Perdue with a chicken farm in Salisbury, Maryland, in 1920, and states that it works with family farmers and ranchers raising poultry, cattle, sheep, and hogs under set protocols.

Plant-level details such as local hours, a retail counter at the Accomac site, or arrangements for individual farmers hauling birds are not stated in the sources on file. Buyers and producers seeking site-specific information would need to contact the plant directly at (757) 787-5329, as listed.

The federal record reports no custom-exempt activity at this establishment, so it is not listed as a plant that slaughters or processes animals for return to individual owners. The company website describes networks of contract family farmers raising poultry, hogs, cattle, and sheep for its brands, and states that growers must follow a specific set of farming protocols, but no booking process, minimums, fees, or cut and wrap terms for outside producers are stated in the sources. Producers interested in a grower relationship or in delivery arrangements would need to contact the company directly.

Perdue Foods, LLC operates under a federal grant of inspection, so product from this plant can be sold anywhere in the United States, which matters if you sell online or across a state line. FSIS does not list a custom-exempt activity for this plant.

No retail store at the Accomac plant is described in the sources. The national company website sells frozen poultry, pork, lamb, and beef online, with bundles and value packs. It states free 2-day shipping on orders over $300 and lists sale prices such as a 15-pound bulk chicken breast bundle at $139.99, a 12-pound organic chicken breast bundle at $149.99, and 1.25-pound trays of pre-cut chicken breast strips at $14.99. Shipping is described as orders going out Tuesdays and Wednesdays via UPS, with orders placed before 9 a.m. ET Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday arriving approximately Friday. Many items were shown out of stock at the time of fetching. Halves and quarters are not applicable, and the website does not tie any order to the Accomac establishment specifically.

If you are buying a half or quarter animal, the plant is where the animal is processed; the farm sells you the animal. Read how to buy a half cow for the sequence and the math.
